Review & Install Video

Hey, guys, I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review of the Rugged Ridge Spartan grille fitting all 2007 to 2016 Wranglers. This is a very polarizing mod. Some of you are going to love it, and some of you are going to absolutely hate it. One thing's for sure, if you want to completely change the look of the front of your Jeep, this will definitely do the job.
The Spartan grille is new from Rugged Ridge. While it shares some styling cues with other grilles that have this eyebrow design, this is completely unique. The Spartan grille gets rid of the seven slot iconic Jeep design in favor of this mesh grille up front. The grille ships with the black mesh, but if you want a different design we have American flags, we have a star, and we even have shark's teeth if that's your thing. Getting into the actual design of the grille, these are injection molded just like the OE grille so they'll hold up to stone throws on the road and tree branches off-road.
Let's get into the install. This grille could not be any easier to get on the front of your jeep. You only need two tools, a screwdriver and a razor knife. This is designed to fit in the factory location using the factory hardware on all the factory mounts. The only trimming that's necessary is to invert the factory ambient air temperature sensor and a little bit of trimming around the headlights, especially if you have LED headlights installed. The whole thing gets finished off with factory like weather stripping on top. The install should take you less than an hour.
Like I said, this grille is not for everyone, but if you like the style and you want to completely change up the look of your Jeep I think you found your next mod. This grille is really well built. It gives you the opportunity to customize with different mesh inserts, and the install could not be simpler. That's my review of the Rugged Ridge Spartan grille fitting all 2007 to 2016 JKs that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Unique Style. Removing the traditional Wrangler grille may not be for everyone, but investing in the Spartan grille with give your rig intense, unique style. Its engineered for customization and is easily painted to match your Wrangler or upgraded with additional mesh inserts (sold separately.) This grille boasts aggressive, angry eyes to add a unique look to your Wrangler. The interchangeable mesh screen design provides improved air flow to maximize performance by keeping temperatures down during on and off road travel.

Skull & Cross Bones. Designed to give your Wrangler an intimidating look, this grille comes equipped with a Jolly Roger mesh insert screen. Its perfect for those with skull graphic decals to create custom rig and will show the world that you mean business.

Rugged Construction. This Wrangler grille is injection molded for an OE like fit and smooth finish. You can easily prep and paint it for a more factory look or go wild and add a custom accent color to match your personalized rig. The included Skull Insert is crafted from durable steel and finished in a tough black finish to prevent corrosive wear for lasting style and performance.

Installation & Warranty. This angry eye grille mounts to existing factory locations but will require minor trimming for installation. This grille is designed to work with factory head lights and most after market HID lights; TruckLite & KC HiLiTES LED Headlights will require trimming the grille prior to installation. Rugged Ridge backs their Spartan grille with a 5 Year Limited Warranty to ensure quality craftsmanship. Some exclusions may apply, please see manufacturer for complete details.

Application. The Rugged Ridge Spartan grille is designed for use on all 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JK Unlimited models.

Jim H, 2010 Jeep Wrangler JKWeb DevelopmentMy dad would always take me trail riding in the Pine Barrens as a kid when I lived in South Jersey, so I’ve always been into four wheel drive trucks and Jeeps. When the time came for me to get a vehicle, I picked up an old Cherokee. I still have that old Jeep strictly for offroading, but after a few...
